GENTLEMAN Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) John Carver warns Aston Villa there will be no sympathy from Newcastle United fans 22:30, 26 February 2015 By Lee Ryder Magpies head coach John Carver remembers the reaction of Villa faithful when Newcastle United were relegated in 2009 38 Shares Share Tweet +1 LinkedIn Getty Images Newcastle United caretaker manager John Carver John Carver has warned Aston Villa he is in no mood to show the relegation-haunted club any mercy this weekend. The Newcastle United head coach says it still hurts to this day when he thinks about Villa fans rubbing salt into the wounds of Geordie supporters as the club were relegated six years ago at Villa Park. The aftermath of the 1-0 defeat saw Villa fans unfurl banners reading: “Sob on the Tyne” and “Who’s your next Messiah? Ant or Dec?” as Newcastle fans were waved off to the Championship. With Tim Sherwood’s side now in the relegation zone and needing close to title-winning form to stay up, Carver admitted there was no love lost between himself and Aston Villa. Carver told the Chronicle: “Let me tell you, I never spoke to anybody for an hour after that full-time whistle went. “It really hurt me. I wasn’t with the football club, but it’s my club. “That hurt me. Every time you come up against Aston Villa that stays in there. “I remember the reaction of their fans after the game and that stays inside and will never go away. “So every time you come against Aston Villa it’s in the back of my head.” And on the possibility of Villa being relegated, Carver said: “It happened to us a few seasons ago and it wasn’t nice. “It’s funny how things work out in life.” Pin this up in our dressing room.

TRO Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 we can sit there pontificating about who upset who over the years. John Carvers comments are totally irrelevant.... do you really expect an easy ride from any competitor, no. We know what we have to do....now (players) go out and bloody do it. John Carver can suck a dick preferably yours I'm fussy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I've got no problem with their fans giving as good as they got. But really, do they think anyone else would have reacted differently if they'd been somewhere else on the last day? Are they mental? Everybody found that funny. It was funny. Us going down won't mean it wasn't funny. Edited February 27, 2015 by ChrisVillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do we think everyone will find us going down as funny as when Newcastle went down? I think Baggies, Sunderland and Newcastle will love it. Can't imagine anyone else being too bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Villa fans are perceived as being a miserable bunch anyway. What was so funny about NEwcastle is the high opinion they have of themselves, even when they're crap. I thin most Villa fans openly acknowledge how shit we are 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Carver can think and say what he likes. Bottom line is that we have way more to play for than them and therefore way more riding on this game and what happened 6 years ago isn't going to mean their players being as up for the game as we are. It shouldn't do anyway. If we lose tomorrow due to a lack of effort and fight then, despite how long he has been here, both Sherwood and the players want f**king as given our current predicament that would be unforgivable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 How bitter is Carver? I suppose it bodes well for tomorrow if his mind-set is remembering what happened six years ago, not the thrashing they received last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Vicious cycle: Players won't fight for fans who have given up, and resulting lack of spirit and lack of goals further depress fans -- rinse and repeat, ad nauseam. We need to lurch out of the death spiral. We tried to break that cycle last Saturday. Now it's their turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If not having much chance of success in the league qualifies you as pointless, then we're no more pointless than most of the other teams in the division. I think a lot of fans wouldn't mind seeing us go down not because they have a dislike for the VIlla but for the simple reason that we're a big club and us going down would be a big talking point. It would be the same if it were Tottenham or Everton struggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
